Welcome. This channel celebrates classic English short stories, in particular the mystery and suspense stories which were a staple of the popular periodicals of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
All my uploads are original recordings, narrated/performed by me, Simon Stanhope, UK-based actor and voice artist.
I've added captions for those learning English, or if you want to read along, plus author biogs and background notes.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: All text of all the stories featured here is in the public domain. There is NO RE-USED CONTENT on this channel, only new interpretations/performances of classic texts. All copyright for these recordings rests with Bitesized Audio. They are not available on other channels.
